My problem is that I have two arrays to be sorted in the same order.

They are as follows:

objects = [obj1, obj2, obj3, obj4];

zorder = [1, 3, 4, 2]

I need to order the zorder, so that it is 1, 2, 3, 4,,that's quite easy, but I need the objects to be sorted the same way, like so:

objects = [obj1, obj4, obj2, obj3]

zorder = [1, 2, 3, 4]

I know this question has been asked before but none of the answers are working for me. All the answers I found would turn it into this:

objects = [{name:obj1, order:1}, 

           {name:obj2, order:3},

           {name:obj3, order:4},

           {name:obj4, order:2}]

and then sort it from there. I cannot do that because the objects array needs to stay exactly the same except for the order, the same is true for zorder. I can create a new array but then I have the same problem from the start.

I'm really stuck on this and I would be very grateful for your help, thank you in advance.

Edit:
the objects array contains 4 objects.

You can create a Map of the objects using the zorder values as keys before sorting zorder.

Then Array#sort() zorder and Array#map sorted array returning the associated object from the Map object

let objects = [{id:100}, {id:300}, {id:400}, {id:200}],

zorder = [1, 3, 4, 2],

map = zorder.reduce((a, c, i) => a.set(c, objects[i]), new Map);



zorder.sort((a, b) => a - b);



objects = zorder.map(n => map.get(n));



console.log('zorder', zorder)

console.log('objects', objects)
